You have not seen my home yet
That is absolutely correct! We have not been inside your home yet. BUT, we do know the area well since my partner is local. If we can spend about 3-5 minutes of your time, we can probably get enough information to make you an offer within the next 48 hours.
That is right! We have not been inside your home yet. But we do know the area well since we are local. If there is a need to see your property ahead of time, do you think that would be possible?
My partner is a local investor in this area, so we are very familiar with <city>, so if we do need to see the property up close and personal, we will let you know ahead of time.
How did you know my home is for sale? I never listed the property!
We actually didn't know that it was for sale. But it's great I got you on the line. We are investors. So, we are consistently looking for additional properties that fit our needs. We are simply looking for individuals who have properties they would like to sell within this area.
Make me an Offer / I'm not giving you a price.
I know you are excited to hear an offer but before we can present one , I need to ask you for some information in order for us to come up with a number and we will get back to you within 48 hours or whatever time is best for you!
I understand you are interested in hearing a price right away for your property. I would need to ask you for some details first and then after that, if it's a good match to what we are looking for I will endorse the details and we will call you back to make an offer.
It's great to know you'd like to get an offer. Before we can present an offer, I need to ask you a few more questions about the property so we can come up with the right offer based on the property.
I would love to give you a spot price on the property, my partner runs the numbers. The price usually depends on the overall condition of the property.
What do you guys do?
We buy properties directly and also help our clients find homes as well. We pay all closing costs, there are no real estate commissions and the best part is we buy them completely as is, so you don't have to put another cent into the property.
My partner is a local investor in the area. We are direct buyers and we can also help you find a home if you need one. We wanted to know if you might consider selling your home
We are direct home buyers. I work with a local investor and were looking to buy homes in this area.
If Seller pushes for clients full name and details:
Again I work for a local investor. We are calling from Direct home buyers--- or client's company name
Note: Never provide the client's full name and company name without their permission. Revisit your client preference and confirm with your client/csm if you are allowed to provide the company name.
If the seller pushes just say:
We are serious buyers, are you looking to sell? I would love to give you my clients information, I just need to ask a few questions about the property and if it's a good fit, I will have him/her call you back
I want to talk to the Investor/your partner directly.
I would like to transfer you to my partner right away but before that, I need to ask you a couple of questions if it's a good match to what my partner is looking for, we will call you back right away or within your preferred time.
I understand you are interested in talking to my partner right away but I just need to ask a few questions about the property because our offer would usually depend on the condition of the property. My partner will run the numbers after this conversation
A REALTOR told me I could get a lot more money than what INVESTORS can provide / I prefer to work with a Realtor.
Remember we buy the property completely as it is, so there is no need to repair the property. We pay all closing costs, and there are no real estate commissions.
I know a lot of sellers meet with Realtors who come in and make big promises, especially in regard to price. But, if you look closely at our offer as compared to holding onto your property or working with a realtor we aren’t that far off. With other fees, taxes, hefty commissions, and time to sell we are very competitive.
The difference really between us and working with a realtor is we buy the property completely as it is, so there is no need to repair the property. We pay all closing costs, and there are no real estate commissions.
How did you get my number/ Where did you get my information?
I know this call was out of the blue. We got your number through public records. This number was associated with this address.
We recently bought a home in your area similar to what were looking for. There is a lot of information in public records.
I do not want a low ball offer
I understand your hesitation. We do our best to come up with a fair offer. My partner would be happy to talk to you so we can determine / come up with the best price that seems fair for you and for us.
I definitely understand how you might think that. Our goal is to really buy your home at a price that is fair for both of us. When we buy a home we take on a lot of risks because we close quickly and we usually don’t do extensive inspections and require you to fix any issues before selling. We pay all closing costs as well and buy the property as is.
Will this take long? / I am driving / I don't have time for this. / I am busy! / I am in a hurry!
We absolutely value your time! I will make this call very quick. You see, I work with a local investor in the area. We are looking to buy properties in your area. Are you interested in selling your property?
I am not selling / I am not selling right now.
I understand that you are not selling now. However, do you have another property for sale or know someone else in the area looking to sell?
I need to talk to my Family / I need to talk to my wife/husband first / I need to consult others first.
I can respect that. What do you think are some of the concerns your family might have? There is no commitment here. So if we are interested it is still in your hands to make the decision.
I do not want to work with Investors / I don't want to work with your company
I completely understand your hesitation, do you mind me asking why?
As investors, we buy properties directly. We pay all closing costs and there are no real estate commissions. The best part is, we buy them completely as is. So, you do not have to put another cent into the property. We try our best to come up with a fair offer. Would you consider getting on a quick call with me so as to get an offer from my partner?
There are also many other benefits to working with us. We make cash and spot offers, we also get creative with our offers. We buy a lot of properties in the area that need work and we also purchase a lot of nicer homes from people who don’t want to deal with paying hefty realtor commissions.
Are You LOCAL?
My partner is a local investor in the area. We are direct buyers and we can also help you find a home if you need one. I work specifically with "Client Name" from "Client company"
Personally, I am not in your city but my partner is local in the area, so he/she is very familiar with the area.
I am not local to your city but I am here in <State assigned>
Do you have a buyer for me? / Are you a buyer?
We don't need to find you a buyer because we are buyers.
Sorry wrong number!
Oh! I am sorry about that but it is great that I got you on the line. You see, I work with a local investor in the area. We are looking to buy properties in "CITY". Do you have any properties that you are looking to sell or know of anyone who has the same?
I am not the homeowner/ I do not own that property!
I see. I saw you showed up as the owner to this property *repeat address. Do you happen to know who owns this property?
If no: Ask if they have a property for sale
If yes: Ask them for details
If you don't mind me asking, how are you related to (Name of the Owner)? I just want to confirm if you are the decision maker of the home?
I am calling about the property at (Address), since you are the wife/husband, I assume you are authorized to answer a few questions about the property. Can you tell me...?
Do you a property that you own that you might be interested in selling?
The house if full of jun, do you need me to clean it out/I need help moving my things
Thanks for letting me know. We are happy to help in as many ways as possible during the process especially if your property is filled with things you don't need. We can get creative with the services in moving and we will do what we can to have someone help you with moving things around.
We do more than just buy homes for cash. We can also help you with finding or purchasing a new home, would you need that kind of assistance?
How can you close so quickly?
We close quickly because we are investors so we are ready to make spot cash offers if you are really looking to sell. We can close as soon as 15-30 days if that is something you are looking to do.
Most of the time we are cash buyers. We move very quickly when making an offer and again we are investors! So when you are ready to sell, we would be ready to buy! But if you need time we can work with you. In fact, most people need a little more time, but if you did have to move quickly we can do it.
I don't know how much my property is. / You give me your estimate on my property. What do you think? / You tell me, you are the one who wants to buy my property/ I don't have an asking price?
We just want it to be fair to you and us. What is the Estimate on your property including all the work that was done on the property over the past few years?
I am not interested in selling or hearing an offer / Nope! Not interested
I understand. Would you happen to know anyone who is interested in selling their property?
If a seller engages in an inappropriate conversation
We are serious buyers and are looking to buy properties in your area, are you really interested in selling?
I am unfortunately going to have to drop the call now because as serious buyers we don't want to waste anymore of your time. Thanks for taking the call.
The timeframe depends on the offer/Timeframe depends because they need to find a new home
Timeframe depends on the offer
I can understand that. So that means if we give you a fair offer that is fair for you and us, that means you would be willing to sell within a 15-30-day period is that correct?
Timeframe depends because they need to find a new home
I understand that you still need time to find a new home. Let's say we presented you an offer you liked and we were able to help you find a new home, or you found a home that you liked;
I assume you would be willing to sell within 30-45 days is that right?
What do you mean by terms? What is creative financing/How Much Do You Give As A Downpayment for terms?
What do you mean by terms?
Terms, or what we normally call Installment sale or month-to-month payments on the property. Are you open to this or would you prefer a cash offer?
How much would you give as a downpayment?
My partner would explain the terms to you when he calls you back. I don't have the exact details on"how much" we would pay monthly or how long the terms are. But don't worry. If this is something you'd want, I will let my partner know.
I need to fix/repair the home:
Honestly, there really is no need to do that since we buy the property as is. So this will save you the time and effort on repairing the home and waiting for a buyer.
Is this a sales call?
No this is not a sales call. My partner and I are local investors in the area. We are looking for properties for sale, similar to yours. Are you thinking about getting an offer for your property?
What are you guys gonna do with my property?
We are direct property buyers and also help our clients find homes as well.
We make cash and spot offers, we also get creative with our offers. We buy a lot of properties in the area that need work and we also purchase a lot of nicer homes from people who don’t want to deal with paying hefty realtor commissions. To start the process all I have to do is to gather some basic information about the property.
